Good day on Uhookumcharters with the Kentucky Wounded Heroes. Had the pleasure to take Tim Burke (Army) Jesse Griffith (Army) and Larry Vaughan (Navy) out for their 1st inshore fishing trip. Was suppose to take them off shore but weather did not play nice off shore. They caught over 50 fish and were able to take home 9 keeper trout between 15.25" and 22.5". Congrats to Jesse for catching the biggest trout. It is always a pleasure fishing with the Kentucky Wounded Heroes. Thanks again for allowing me to participate in your program. Thanks for your service and Until We Meet Again May You Have Tight Lines and Calm Seas.
